Surely water pouring off the roof is a problem, though one that could be resolved by something as simple as clearing the downpipes?

I honestly believe that in a couple of years or so we could see the end of the Skircoat Stand, Its old as it is and will see little or no use once the East Stand is opened.

haha.. what a set of p!illocks on that board.. Never heard such tripe but it gives you a giggle.. Bobbins is a funny fella.. Thick as 2 planks but funny..

You would think they played Man Utd style champagne football the way they are whinging.. am sure a few mud patches won't affect their hoof and hope cr@p...

JUst had a look now, thought the Joke Section was where they discuss their team.

Im not commenting, dont want the Skircoat Casuals to get me

It aint run by the clubs now its a Council facility and before that a SST facility its a sporting stadium occupiued by 2 tenants called FC halifax Town and Halifax RLFC so whats the clubs got to do with what exists and with running it?
Fact is as soon as anybody mentions MAINTENANCE at the Shay the old chestnut rears its head 'no money'. Rubbish, money was found to sort out issues with the pitch before, ask the Stadium Manager??? Its part of managing a stadium, what you saying we just find money to pay staff wages and do not any money to fund a rolling programme of painting, fixing broken items etc...?
Margaret Wilson brought this up at the SST years ago and NOWT happened because the SST said they had no money?
Come on a few tins of paint does not cost that much.
So a fallpipe pouring water into the back of the South Stand is too expensive to fix also???
I saw water pouring down the terraces from the far side (next to the offices) of the South Stand on Sunday and if not sorted it will cause huge problems, it does not cost much to get that sorted out surely???
It took months before somebody bothered to fix the fallpipe leaking water at the back of the South Stand last year plus does nobody ever bother to clear the guttering on the offices and Skircoat at the Shay???

Well, they don't spend much on the gardening tools as we saw the groundsmen buying them from Home Bargains, Pellon Lane, last season. Can't remember exactly what they bought, but they did buy several gardening items. They may be ok for home use, but not too sure they will last very long for prolonged use at the Shay.

Many of the jobs in the ground don`t need a lot of money so we don`t need that old chestnut again.It`s a matter of "good housekeeping" Like sorting out the triffids, a lick of paint here and there cleaning bird muck off the seats to name a few. Not saying it`s easy at this time of year but when the puffballers have finished thier season and they don`t need to cut the grass every day maybe they could spare some time on other jobs.
It`s a time managment thing surely?

we do do damage in the goal areas but what am saying is that the football has only played 2 games on it in 6 weeks so there must be alternate problems with the pitch.

I suggest some Asbestos roofing at Natty Lane for the football team

Please be careful of what we say - otherwise we will have to lock this thread.

Similar accusations were made on the Courier Website in the comments section a week or so ago

idiots! I bet they are the ones who blame the Germans for bombing their chippy!!!! Let it go lads.. your grown men! Do they realise how embarassing their comments are to the people who are genuine supporters of the clubs accept that both clubs play there

Doubtful.

true.

only 866 turned up last night... there will be no one left supporting them to whine on! Nice to read all the "supportive" comments the fans have been shouting to the players.... with so few in the ground the players will have heard them all! Keep up the great support lads!
